Grant period is the period in which you receive BAföG. Because the BAföG is granted only for a limited period - just the approval period. Two months before the expiry of the period of authorization, a follow-up application must be made if interruption of payments is to be prevented.

BAföG

How is the authorization period set?

The approval period is usually set at 12 months by the office. This is always the case if the application is submitted in good time at the beginning of your studies (or the Vocational Training) has asked.

Otherwise, the period of authorization is chosen to end with one semester or one semester.

When does the authorization period begin?

The period of approval is also shortened if the type of funding changes after a shorter period than 12 months. This is mainly the case with the end of the promotion period. After that, you can only get a interest-bearing bank loan.

The starting date of the authorization period is the month of the application. This means that you have an influence on the beginning of the period of approval by submitting the application at a specific time.

Later date of the authorization period

In addition, it is possible that you yourself determine a later start of the approval period in the application.

However, the approval period must begin “promptly” with the application month. A postponement by two (at most three) months should be possible. However, you cannot influence the end of the approval period, which the BAföG office determines in accordance with the law.

Which income is calculated?

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

To calculate the BAföG, your Income from the approval period. The income of the parents is counted differently.

In this calculation is not the approval period, but the penultimate calendar year prevail!

Why an update application?

When calculating the BAföGPerformance the income of your parents or your spouse can also be included - namely the income that was earned in the penultimate calendar year before the application was submitted.

Since this is unfair if they have suddenly changed the income situation of the person concerned (something through pension, illness, unemployment), you have the opportunity to submit an update request.

However, consider this well: If the BAföG Office has approved the application once, you can not undo it!

What happens during the update application?

When applying for an update, the expected income during the approval period is now included in the on account included. You can only estimate this, so you will only receive your BAföG with reservations.

When it finally becomes clear how much your parent / spouse has earned, it will finally be calculated how much BAföG you should have received - and it may be that you still have to receive back payments or have to pay back your overpaid BAföG yourself. For cheating this application is therefore in no case!

Caution in the case of incorrect data

Caution, however, is required for false information: A BAföG application is not uncomplicated and Nobody is perfect - mistakes happen. But beware: that can be expensive! If you have received too much BAföG on the basis of false statements (whether they were intentionally or unintentionally made), you should repay this and hope that the BAföG office will not impose a fine.

In recent years numerous cases of BAföG fraud have been detected throughout Germany, as the BAföG office compares its data with the tax office. It is therefore strongly advised against deliberately making false statements in order to fraudulently commit to a higher BAföG.

Legal aid makes sense

Also little useful are legal remedies in such cases, i.e. an objection or a lawsuit against the BAföG office: This presents oneself as unreasonable and one can certainly expect a fine.

Anyone who bows, especially in the case of minor offenses, and his "Debt” admits, can rather hope for sympathy from the BAföG office – but this is for sure also depends on the clerk. In addition, the BAföG office must be informed immediately of any change in income. This does not only apply when the corresponding maximum limits are exceeded.
